My Jeep is a year later than yours, Gene. It's an '87, first year for the Wrangler. It's getting a new battery tomorrow afternoon. With it's transplanted 350 c.i. Chevy and a Chevy TH350 tranny and Dana transfer case it's a lot of fun on dirt roads. Effective final gear ratio is 4.56 to 1, so it can hardly pass a gas station without turning in.

I've got a petite little wife, too. She's 117 lbs. now, up a little from 102 lbs. 50 years ago. She won't ride in my Jeep anymore. Right after I got it we ran out of gas and had to sit 'side the road for awhile until help came along. She was so embarrassed she was "mortified", and refuses to ride in it again. grin But, that's cool.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
